Ebook: Canada as Statebuilder?: Development and Reconstruction Efforts in Afghanistan

An in-depth impact analysis of Canada's peacekeeping and statebuilding efforts in Afghanistan.

In Canada as Statebuilder? Laura Grant and Benjamin Zyla analyze over one hundred and thirty Canadian-led development projects in Afghanistan to illustrate that Canada has limited capacity to effectively run humanitarian efforts in unstable, insecure, or inaccessible environments. Reflecting on Canada's engagement in Afghanistan, this book asks whether Canadian peacekeeping efforts in the region were ultimately worth the economic and human resources invested.
